Critical Success Factors for Sustainable Construction & Demolition Waste Management in Kochi City, Kerala
Construction and Demolition waste (C&D) as a direct consequence of rapid urbanization is increasing around the world. C&D waste generation has been identified as one of the major issues in the construction industry due to its direct impacts on the environment as well as the efficiency of the construction industry. It is estimated that an overall 35% of C&D waste is landfilled globally; therefore, effective C&D waste management is crucial to minimize detrimental impacts on the environment. C&D waste management must be implemented successfully since the industry cannot continue to operate if the resources it depends on are depleted. Considering the environmental, socio-economic, and sustainability impact, sustainable C&D waste management practices have been started globally. The 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) method is the base for sustainable C&D waste management practices. This study focuses on sustainable C&D waste management in Kochi City and helps in evaluating critical success factors (CSFs) by examining the effectiveness of C&D waste management in Kochi. A survey was conducted and survey results were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Descriptive analysis was carried out in SPSS to find CSFs and the results were also validated by using RII analysis done in Microsoft Excel.
